No, there is currently no air conditioning at the Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam. The space is a deep, spacious historic building on the ground floor with limited glass and another floor above, so it tends to stay relatively cool when sun shades are used and doors remain closed. On a recent 38°C day, it was […]

Short answer: there is no reliable clinical evidence that combining psilocybin and ketamine is safe or effective for PTSD. I cannot verify claims of benefit, and safety data on the combo are lacking. Mixing these substances can be unpredictable. Potential risks include intense disorientation or dissociation, anxiety or panic, nausea, impaired coordination and judgment, and […]

No. The Psychedelic Loft in Schiedam does not currently have air conditioning. The historic ground floor space stays relatively cool thanks to its depth and limited glass. On a 38°C day it was about 26 to 28°C inside, using sunshades, closed doors, and additional fans. If you need more cooling, they can provide cool pads, […]

Short answer: it is sometimes done, but both mirtazapine (Remeron) and lorazepam (Ativan) can blunt psilocybin’s effects. The impact varies with dose, how long and how often you use them, and the reasons they were prescribed. I cannot verify your specific situation. Mirtazapine interacts with serotonin receptors, including 5-HT2A, which is central to classic psychedelic […]

Short answer: it can be done, but both mirtazapine and lorazepam may blunt a psilocybin experience. Mirtazapine is associated with reduced intensity, fewer visuals, and less emotional depth. Lorazepam can lower anxiety and tension, yet may also flatten insights and feelings. Neither guarantees a “safe” or “better” session, and I cannot verify your personal risk. […]

No. A single 2026 case report does not show that psilocybin helps advanced Alzheimer’s; it describes one person’s improvements and cannot establish effectiveness or generalize to others. The report notes short-term gains in communication, memory, emotional engagement, and daily function after ingesting psilocybin-containing mushrooms. With an uncontrolled single case, placebo effects, symptom fluctuation, and caregiver […]

Yes. We provide clean eye masks during guided truffle sessions, and using one is completely optional. You are welcome to bring your own eye mask if you prefer the fit or familiarity. Many participants find that a mask helps reduce distractions and supports an inward focus. For details about our sessions, visit our truffle session […]

Speakers are the default choice. Letting the music fill the space helps you stay connected to the room and any guidance, which works well in both private and group settings. A headset is fine if you prefer more privacy or want to reduce outside stimuli. It can help you focus inward, but it may isolate […]

Preliminary evidence suggests so. In a randomized study of people with major depressive disorder, moderate to high doses of LSD were associated with increased white matter integrity in specific brain tracts, and those changes correlated with greater symptom improvement up to 12 weeks. This is an association, not proof of causation or lasting antidepressant effects. […]

Yes, we provide eye masks and bring them to every session and ceremony. They are soft, comfortable, and designed to block light well without pressing on your eyes. Many people like using them to reduce visual distractions, while a few prefer simply keeping their eyes closed in a dim room. You can try both and […]

Yes. You can use headphones instead of speakers, both in private and group ceremonies, if that’s your preference. You may also bring and use your own playlist. A headset can help you block out nearby noise and stay focused. Just coordinate with the facilitator about volume and timing so you don’t miss any cues. Bring […]

Short answer: we do not have reliable evidence that psilocybin treats or reverses Alzheimer’s disease. Research is early, and psilocybin is not an approved therapy for dementia. There is a 2026 single-patient case report describing notable improvements after psilocybin-containing mushrooms in a woman with advanced Alzheimer’s, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience. A case report cannot […]
